Gonna start raining and I have at least 10 trikes outside.
Most tanks have been drained and bone dried with marine fogging oil
and hung inside.
Coffee cans on the exhausts, carbs drained.
Anything else I can do other than building a garage?
I know that stuff covered in plastic is usually the only place there's moisture
when the sun comes out.
Oil in the cylinders?
Mouse traps in the airboxes?
Find a new hobby?
Thanks
Just need some paranoid motivational stories.
Last year, I almost lost a 85 bigred.
Was out in the field that flooded and it flipped over and floated into the fence. First storm of the year.
Ok, That may be enuf to get me going
but always like suggestions, jokes and insults are appreciated as well.

Some 2x4s and plastic can make a small shed to keep the sun and moisture off their backs. And get the things of the ground. Concrete blocks under frames will save tires and keep mice away.

Go and buy a cheap Shelterlogic garage in a box. They are great.

You just brought to light about the ONLY good thing about living in So. California- the weather.

Why are you putting them all up for winter? What if you want to go for a nice winter/rain ride?

Cover the intake ports of the air boxes with chicken wire, chain the trikes together around something that won't get washed away, and batten down the hatches. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
